IZVLEČEK V diplomskem delu sem analiziral igralno učinkovitost, taktiko igre in strukturo napadov štirih najboljših ženskih reprezentanc na svetovnem prvenstvu leta 2006 v Braziliji. S pomočjo video posnetkov in statističnih podatkov sem analiziral dve tekmi, in sicer, tekmi za prvo mesto med reprezentancama Avstralije in Rusije, ter tekmo za tretje mesto med ekipama Brazilije in ZDA. Ugotovil sem naslednje: • obe zmagoviti ekipi sta imeli uspešnejši in boljši odstotek učinkovitosti meta iz igre v primerjavi s poraženima ekipama, • število izgubljenih žog ni bistveno vplivalo na končni rezultat tekem, • kompleksnost skupne taktike posameznih ekip ni vplivala na končni rezultat tekem, • uspešnost izvedbe posebnih taktičnih situacij v napadu ni vplivala na končni rezultat tekem, • uspešno izvedeni postavljeni napadi niso pomembno vplivali na končni rezultat obeh tekem, • višje število uspešno izvedenih protinapadov in zgodnjih napadov je pomembno vplivalo na končni rezultat obeh tekem, • dosledno izvajanje individualne in skupinske taktike je pomembno vplivalo na končni rezultat obeh tekem. 3 Kočar, B.

V začetku je imela vlogo dopolnilnega športa v zimskem obdobju treniranja igralcev ameriškega nogometa, kasneje se je razvila v samostojno igro. Leta 1892 so bila napisana prva pravila v 13 točkah, leta 1894 pa prva uradna pravila. Po tem letu se je hitro širila po ZDA, Japonski, Kitajski, Filipinih, J. Ameriki in Evropi. Prenašali so jo študentje, misijonarji in vojaki. Odigrane so bile tudi prve mednarodne tekme in tekmovanja. Leta 1932 je bila ustanovljena Mednarodna košarkarska zveza – FIBA.

  • Sverige Mot EM 2015
    Sverige mot EM 2015 Mediaguide för EM-kvalet 2014 Dags för ny resa – mot EM 2015 Sverige kom sjua i EM 2013, efter att inte ha spelat ett EM sedan 1987 Sverige slog regerande Europamästa- ren Ryssland och pressade hemmanationen Frankrike i kvartsfinalen. Nu är det dags för en ny resa i ett nytt kval som förhoppningsvis leder till EM 2015. Man ska alltid ta en sak, ett spel, ett skott eller en retur i taget i basket. Men ingen regel utan undantag, så det här EM-kvalet handlar inte bara om EM 2015, utan också om att hålla drömmen om spel i OS i Rio de Janeiro 2016 vid liv. För att Sverige ska kunna nå OS i Rio måste man först nå EM 2015 och sedan spela tillräckligt bra där för att antingen kvala in direkt eller åtminstone till ett kvalspel. Men där hejdar vi oss och tittar på EM-kvalet 2014. Totalt finns det sex grupper med lag som kvalar om elva lediga platser i EM 2015. De sex gruppvinnarna samt de fem bästa tvåorna når EM 2015. Sverige hade alltså inte direkt något flyt med lottningen som fick Ryssland och Holland. Ryssland har sedan man blev Ryssland i EM 1993 vunnit tre EM-guld, tre EM-silver och ett EM-brons. Som Sovjetunionen vann man 21 av 22 möjliga guld mellan 1950 och 1991. Samtidigt, som förbundskapten Lars Johansson säger, det var ingen i Ryssland som blev glad att få möta Sverige i gruppspelet heller. Sverige inleder EM-kvalet 7 juni med den på papperet tuf- faste bortamatchen direkt, den mot just Ryssland.

    Sooner Catholic soonercatholic.org November 2, 2014 www.archokc.org Go Make Disciples One Year: Go Make Disciples Archbishop’s vision for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City By Diane Clay The Sooner Catholic It has been one year since Archbishop Paul Coakley issued his call to “Go Make Disciples,” identifying three priorities for the archdiocese, its parishes and schools, and for all Catholics who seek to encounter Jesus Christ. “As one way of preparing for and celebrating the Year of Faith in the Archdiocese of Oklaho- ma City, I chartered a team of clergy, religious and lay leaders to assist me in prayerfully discerning a mutually shared vision for the archdiocese,” Archbishop Coakley wrote. “This vision will guide our archdiocesan family over the course of the next fi ve years. It is the vision against which we will evaluate and justify our initiatives, programs, ministries and expendi- tures. It refl ects who we are and what we do. This vision aligns with the Gospel vision of Our Lord.” “Go Make Disciples” is intended to be shared broadly among all clergy, religious and lay faithful of the archdiocese. The three priorities on which Archbishop Coakley asked archdioc- esan leaders and parishioners to focus for the fi rst two years are: Archbishop Coakley greets parishioners and visitors after this year’s Our Lady of La Vang Celebration at Our New Evangelization Lady’s Cathedral.
